Congressman Broun's Remarks on Evolution

U.S. Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia recently noted in a speech at Liberty University that evolution and much else he was taught in college were “lies straight from the pit of hell.” These were “lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior.” He went on to note that he believes that the earth is about 9,000 years old and was created in six days because this is what the Bible says. He noted that the Bible is “the manufacturer’s handbook” and “it teaches us how to run all of public policy and everything in our society.”
